Ville Platte Catastrophic Injury Lawyer

Catastrophic injuries are those that cause permanent injuries or disabilities that directly affect an individual’s quality of life. An injury can be classified as catastrophic if it makes it difficult or impossible for the individual to go about their daily routines. Injuries that affect mobility, vision, the limbs, sensation, or feeling can be termed catastrophic⁠—as can some forms of disfigurement, mental anguish, and emotional trauma.

Catastrophic injuries do not affect just the victim. They also have a significant impact on members of the victim’s family who are often forced to make sacrifices and life changes of their own to give their affected loved one the care and attention that they need.

If you or someone you know was affected by a catastrophic injury, call (337) 777-7777 for a free consultation. We charge no fees unless a Ville Platte catastrophic injury lawyer wins damages for you, so call us today to learn about initiating a claim for damages.

Defining Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries are those that have direct or proximate consequences that permanently prevent someone from performing gainful work. To put this definition another way, catastrophic injuries are those that are so serious that they leave the victim with some form of permanent damage that they will likely not be able to overcome and that prevents them from being able to work.

Catastrophic injuries often involve physical damage or trauma to the brain, the spinal cord, the limbs, or the sense organs. They can have a severe impact on how someone functions, both physically as well as mentally and socially. Serious burns, amputations, and disfigurement are also examples of catastrophic injuries.

Catastrophic injuries involve losing something that is a vital part of you as a person. This can take the form of a limb that is amputated, your ability to walk, or even mental issues such as lost mental acumen or the ability to perform critical reasoning.

If you were in an accident that caused a catastrophic injury to you or someone you know or love, you should seek compensation for those damages. A Ville Platte catastrophic injury lawyer can help you determine who was at fault for your injury, how much you should seek in terms of damages, and how to connect with the care and treatment centers that may be able to help you overcome some of your health issues.

Compensation You May Be Able to Collect

There are many reasons you may have the right to seek compensation for a catastrophic injury.

  • Serious injuries usually require expensive treatments. If you suffered one because of the actions of another party, you should be compensated.
  • If you require long-term treatment, medications, surgeries, assistive devices, or changes made to the home to facilitate your injuries, you should not have to pay for those either. The at-fault party responsible for your injuries should pay these damages.
  • If you cannot work because of your injury, you should be compensated for the wages you are no longer able to earn. Lost future wages are usually calculated using your last earned income and the number of productive work years you likely had left in life prior to your injury.
  • You should also be compensated for the emotional trauma and mental damage that your accident caused you.

We Can Help You Pursue Compensation for a Variety of Catastrophic Injuries

All of the injuries below are categorized as catastrophic.

  • Physical injuries: These include amputations, burns, compound fractures, internal organ damage, and a loss of orthopedic functions.
  • Spinal cord injuries: These are injuries that exclusively impact the spinal cord, leading to some form of permanent motor or sensory disability.
  • Cognitive injuries: These can be very devastating and they can take a serious physical, financial, and mental toll on the patient⁠—as well as his or her family. Catastrophic cognitive injuries involve some form of brain damage that inhibits a person’s ability to perform meaningful work, speak, communicate, or create new memories.

You may have had to change much of your lifestyle and expectations to care for a victim of a catastrophic injury. You may have lost your primary source of income. A personal injury case may allow you to pursue several forms of compensation to cover your losses, both economic and non-economic. We can help you seek amends and compensation for losses you suffer after a catastrophic accident, including compensation for:

  • Lost past and future wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Lower quality of life
  • Present and future medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation costs

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
